The 2019 Progressive® Insurance Minneapolis Boat Show® cruises back to the Minneapolis Convention Center January 24-27, 2019 with four days of summer fun to help beat the winter blues. The region’s longest running boat show and annual family-friendly favorite offers visitors a one-stop shopping experience with hundreds of the newest boats, latest marine accessories and new marine technologies. This year’s boat show includes an appearance from summertime favorite Twin Cities Beach Blast, featuring a display of past winners of the Milk Carton Boat Race and an all-new, marine-themed Sandcastle.

Visitors will also enjoy returning favorites like the Antique & Classic Boat Display; the Boating Skills Virtual Trainer, where attendees can set out on a simulated “boat trip” to practice boating skills. Winners of the 2019 Minneapolis Innovation Awards, which honors manufacturers of the best new products in the boating industry, will be featured during the show, and are chosen on Wednesday, January 23 during the show’s “Sneak Preview” night.
